Description:

lansharkdjangoxhtml2pdf 0.0.7

Attention
This is a fork of the https://github.com/xhtml2pdf/django-xhtml2pdf project.
This project is wrapper code between the django project and the xhtml2pdf
project, both have a few maintaining so maybe are not ideal for your project.
What it does is simply allow people to create xhtml2pdf templates using all the
cool django things like STATIC_URL etc.. (like one would for a webpage
template), and the utils function makes all the images and resources appear in
the pdf.
This release (0.0.7) supports Django 2.0, and Python 3.6.
NOTE:
While this project is being maintained on a limited basis for legacy projects,
we recommend strongly that new projects consider using
WeasyPrint <https://weasyprint.org>.

Usage
Simply do the following:
from django_xhtml2pdf.utils import generate_pdf

def myview(response):
resp = HttpResponse(content_type='application/pdf')
result = generate_pdf('my_template.html', file_object=resp)
return result

Class-based views
You can use the provided PdfMixin with any view that subclasses TemplateView,
example:
from django.views.generic.detail import DetailView
from django_xhtml2pdf.views import PdfMixin
from .models import Product

class ProductPdfView(PdfMixin, DetailView):
model = Product
template_name = "product_pdf.html"
It will output the rendered content of the view in pdf.

Decorator
Simply do the following:
from django_xhtml2pdf.utils import pdf_decorator

@pdf_decorator
def myview(request):
return render(request, 'mytemplate.html')
Change the pdf file name:
from django_xhtml2pdf.utils import pdf_decorator

@pdf_decorator(pdfname='new_filename.pdf')
def myview(request):
return render(request, 'mytemplate.html')
